Society, the media and many fashion companies put pressure on women to be as thin as possible and this is not right.

Friends have encouraged these women and family members gain weight, as they look unhealthily thin.Some people are overweight for reasons other than overeating and the converse applies as well, some people are very thin but not due to the fact that they eat too little.

As many as 17% of the population is more than twenty five percent underweight.
